Hi. I'm sorry for not updating in a while. I had this big project.. I hope you enjoy this chapter. Please Read and Review.
BTW. TJ isn't Tag Jones. Sorry.. I just really dnt like Tag. You'll know who TJ is soon...
DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING OF FRIENDS. JUST TJ. SCRIPTS ARE FROM SEASON 10 EPISODE 14
"TJ is the father," Rachel said swallowing the truth. She couldn't tell them the truth about her being pregnant even before she left for Paris. But, that was that. TJ looked at her, she just gave him a pleeding look that NO ONE could even stand to see.
"Oh My God!"Monica said in a whisper. SHe couldn't believe Racel got knocked up in Paris by this stranger who she just met. Everyone thought that it would be Ross. Ross would be the father. But things were different now and they al had to accept it. Ross was with Julie. Rachel has a famiy with TJ. Ross and Rachel could never be anymore...
On the way back to Rachel's new apartment, she thought about how things ended up the way it is... The day when she got an interview to Gucci and didn't get the job, got fired at the same time...
(Rachel enters, looking depressed)
Chandler: Hey, how'd the interview go?
Rachel: Oh! It's not good.
Chandler: You know, I always feel that way after an interview. I'll bet it went better than you think.
Rachel: Well, I didn't get the job at Gucci and I got fired from Ralph Lauren.
Chandler: That is a bad interview.
Phoebe: What are you, what are you talking about? How did this happen?
Rachel: Well, my boss was at the same restaurant where I was having my interview and he heard everything. So later he calls me to his office and he tells me that he's gonna have to let me go, because I'm not a team player. And I said "Wait a minute! Yes I am." and I had to sit there for 45 minutes while he proved that that in fact... was true.
Monica: Oh God. I'm so sorry.
(Ross enters with a bottle in his hand)
Ross: Hey! Wha-hoo! What's this? (showing the bottle) Well it's a, it's a bottle of champagne. Why is this here?
Phoebe: Ross...
Ross: I guess it's here because I GOT TENURE!
All (except Rachel): Congratulations! (Rachel looks devastated)
Ross: This is the single greatest day of my professional career. Gunther, six glasses!
Gunther: Six? You want me to join you?
Ross: Oh, I thought Joey was here. Five is good. (Gunther leaves, hurt) Well, I'm gonna have a loogie in my coffee tomorrow.
Chandler: Ooh! Israeli champagne. And it's vanilla!
Ross: I got tenure. I didn't win the lottery... Hey Rach, so uh... how did your thing go?
Rachel: Oh it... good! Yeah, but I'm not gonna hear from that for a couple of days.
Ross: Oh, you know what? You're gonna get it. I-I-I-I can feel it.
Phoebe: Can you?
Rachel: Ah, all right. Here's to Ross!
Ross: And-and to years of hard work finally paying off.
Phoebe: And to knowing that your career doesn't mean everything. (Rachel mouths "aah")
Ross: But also knowing it means a lot.
Monica: But more importantly to full well-rounded lives.
Ross: ...that center around work.
Chandler: To Ross!
All (except Rachel): Ross!
(they all drink from the champagne, but clearly dislike the taste of it)
Ross: You know what the best part about this is? I can never be fired.
Phoebe: Oh God!
Ross: No seriously. I have job security for life. You know, I never have to worry. (Rachel starts crying) Oh, look at you. Look how happy you are for me.
Rachel: (crying) No, it's not that. I got fired today. And I didn't get the other job.
Ross: Rach, I'm so sorry.
Rachel: Oh!
Ross: Great. I feel like an idiot.
Rachel: No, it's okay, you didn't know.
Ross: Oh... (to the others) Little heads-up would have been nice.
Rachel smiled at that memory. Ross hugged her. She felt so warm. So comfortable. She felt like nothing could go wrong when everything was. She thought of how, maybe, if the champaign didn't taste so akward to the others, she would've gotten caught just like the first time. Her thoughts got interrupted by her phone ringing.
"Hello. Rachel Green," Rachel answered and tapped Ella since she was kinda waking up. Rachel didn't know who was calling. So, she was surprised to hear the person on the other line. Ross.
"Hey Rach...el," Ross said sitting on the bench at Central Park.
"Hey, Uhm... Not to be.. Rude or anything... why are you calling me?pause I mean,pause after what happen at Monica's earlier..." Rachel said not wanting that emory of today come back. Ross was taken aback by this comment. Did she not want him to call? Ofcourse she wouldn't want him to call. But he had to anyway.
"I just want to... set... um...a play date. For me to spend time with Emma. You know. For me and Julie to get to know her more since I haven't had the chance in like two years and Julie...never.." Ross said wanting Rachel to be jelous. Julie, Emily and Bonnie always pushed her buttons. THey were on their way to getting back together the same way Paulo, Mark, and maybe if she met him TJ are.
"Oh. Yeah. You, Emma and... Juuu..liiie?" Rahcel said hesitating saying Julie, but she knew she couldn't show him that she was at all caring baout who he's going out with now.
"So when?" Ross asked anxiosuly now that Rachel said they can. As the car stopped and dropped Rachel off to her building, the driver tok her stuff along with the girls to her apartment so she can continue her conversation.
"Uhm. If you want. You can take Emma tommorow. I have a date with TJ anyway so you can probably take her the whole day," Rachel told Ross forgeting that Ross never even met TJ.
"T...J?" Ross said clearing his throat showing signs of curiousness. Rachel smiled. Ross was still jelous. Was is the fact that Emma was close to TJ or just that SHE was close to him?
"Oh I forgot. You didn't stay long enough to meet him. TJ's my fiance. He's Ella's father. So, we're going out tommorow. Can you pick Emma up at 8:30 AM?" Rachel asked giving Ross the cliff notes version of the story.
"Okay. Uhm. See you soon Rach...el." Ross said hanging up the phone then looking up at the stars. Rachel just looked at the phone for a moment. Ross voice seem to overcome her feelings of trouble, confuseion and love for TJ. If it was love in the first place...
"Mommy. Why is Dinosaur Guy mean now? You said he wasn't. You said he loves me and you and Ella." Emma said breaking in her mother's thoughts. Rachel smiled at Emma. Tommorow, Emma will get to know the real Ross. HOPEFULLY.
"Tommorow. You're going to spend the day with him and his girlfriend." Rachel told Emma stroking her hair. Emma smiled hopeful that Ella is going too. But Rachel shook her head.
"Ems, Ella isn't going. Ross doesn't... Well. AUnt Monica wants to spend time with Ella so she'll be staying with Aunt Monica like you will until Ross picks you up. Alright?" Rachel explained to Emma. She wasn't lying completely. She knew Monica wanted to abysitt Ella just to see if she has any of ROss' characteristics and thrid degree Rachel about them.
"Okay mommy. Tuck me in?" Emma asked pulling Rachel to her bedroom. Rachel smiled and tucked Emma in kissing her forehead. Emma smiled and closed her eyes to deep slumber. Rachel walked to the other room were Ella was sleeping.
"Sorry sweety. I know what I did today was wrong not letting your father know, But it was the best for your sake... and... seeing as he's with Julie, mine and his...I love you Ella." Rachel said fixing Ella's blanket on her and kissing her forehead. Ella twitched a bit but didn't wake up. With that, Rachel went back to her master-master room,turned on the star gazer and just smiled a big smile. She knew tommorow was going to e a long day with Monica trying to figure out if Rachel was really truthful. With Ross spending time with Emma and Emma spending time with Ross and Julie...
